FRASER ISLAND

One of the many local attractions is Fraser Island. Fraser Island is the world's largest sand island and is World Heritage listed. The island's dingoes are believed to have the greatest level of genetic purity of any dingo population remaining in eastern Australia. There are numerous day trips available to the island and the accommodation on the island ranges from camping to first class resort.  Fraser Island is an attraction that shouldn't be missed.


WHALE WATCHING

Whale Watching season in the calm, protected waters of Hervey Bay is from late July to early November.  The humpback whales are enormous, fascinating and awesome to watch. Visitors on whale boats are often surprised by by how close the whales come to the boats.  They are inquisitive and very active on the surface, slapping their tails and often breaching above the water. The best way to appreciate the beauty of the whales is see them for yourself.  It's an encounter you're sure to remember.


FISHING

If fishing is your passion, then Burrum Heads is the place for you.  Throw a line in from the beach just metres away, bring your own boat or hire one here.  Charter fishing trips are also readily available and offer a wide range of trips from deep sea fishing to whiting fishing. Tide times and weather information for the area can be found by following the links on our 'LINKS' page.  There is no substitute for local knowledge and the local bait and tackle shop is your best source of advice.  Whatever your choice you'll find the fish are big and the crowds are small.
